Abstract
WE have recently studied the polymerization of a number of vinyl monomers in essentially non-aqueous media in the presence of ferric chloride. There appear to be no data in the literature on the behaviour of such systems, and since the work provides important information about some aspects of the polymerization, we wish to report the main results here. In particular, they enable the rate of initiation to be determined simply and accurately.
